Warwick Cons produce their best display of the season to pip bowlers to the title
Cons looked to have missed out on the title after a 3-2 defeat to Nelson (Richie Evans 41, 34, Tony Baylis 32, 32, 32) in their final scheduled league fixture left them three-and-a-half points behind Nelson Bowls, who were in action the same night against Lillington Club.
However, a 4-1 defeat for the leaders against Lillington Club meant a 5-0 win for Warwick Cons in their quickfire repeat against Nelson, rescheduled from earlier in the season, would secure them the title.
